Default GS 300 mod potential

I found a nice, two owner 2005 GS300 on cargurus. I know these aren’t known to be speed demons, but with mods is it possible to have the car in the 6 second range for 0-60? I’m thinking Intake, SAFC, muffler/res delete and maybe more. Here for any suggestions and opinions on what may be the best results. Here is the link to the car https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...ting=189370137

If you want a GS300 that does 0-60 in 6 seconds, get a GS400/430.

You'll never make up the difference in power with just I/H/E and an SAFC.

Better start looking into NA-t or GTE swaps!

OP, with that split year, you're still okay to do the swap. The particular car you listed on the ad is still the straight 6 so you have options. Good looking car!

OP as others have said....it will take more than the standard boltons to get to your goal......however do some research here and see what most have done as far as performance.
